Bacon Ranch Macaroni Salad Recipes

This is one of my favourite macaroni salad recipes, how can a macaroni salad with bacon be bad, right?

TIP: Whenever you are making macaroni salad it is best to do so the day before, or at least earlier in the day. Allow time for the cooked pasta to cool before mixing. And for best taste leave the salad in the fridge for a few hours before serving.

Ingredients:

The amount of each of these all depends on how big of a batch you want to make. Just make sure you have an even amount of each veggie and a generous helping of bacon!

Pasta

Bacon

Canned Corn

Broccoli (uncooked for crunch)

Peppers (I used orange for color sake)

Onions (purple are less potent, so a good choice)

Ranch dressing

Of course you will also need all your kitchen weaponry – a pot, frying pan, spatula, spoon, knife, cutting board.

You can also add more veggies if you like. I tend to just grab what’s in my fridge – it’s also a great way to use up those veggies that are getting close to expiring.

This recipe is a perfect side – especially in the summer months when its just too hot to cook. Just throw your burgers on the BBQ and pull a bowl of this yummy bacon ranch macaroni salad out of the fridge!

I’ve always got a macaroni salad in my fridge for side dishes. It’s a great lazy day cooking alternative!
